just a short coment:
i find it interesting that graphic "sex" often earns a movie a higher mpaa
ratings (i.e. "R" instead of "PG-13" or worse, in many cases "NC-17" instead
of "R")   than does graphic "violence"......
 
what is this telling the youth of america? [i am generalizing]  That
expressions of hate are okay to watch and learn by example from when one
young, rather than expressions of love (if not gratuitous examples mind you),
which one has to be an adult to understand?
 
one wonders, by the argument the violent movies and tv are producing a more
hatelful and vengeful society, that increased showing of graphic sex, would
in turn, produce a more erotic and sexualized society?
